Hacking Backup Launcher by Wiigator

[quim69]

By the way regarding burning DVD's, I found out something interesting regarding DVD+R's. I was originally burning my discs on my laptop but I was unable to set the DVD Type and so any I burned just wouldn't work. Fair enough. However I also have my iMac and htought I would try that drive to see if it could set DVD Type. It never but when I use it to burn the discs, they work fine, so I think it may be set as standard to burn to the right type of disc.

Some burners auto-set bittype of DVD+R to DVD-Rom. Others you have a choice to do it manually or leave as DVD+R.

Pioneer are the odd ones out - they don't allow you to set it manually and it doesn't automatically set it either. You can however edit the firmware to allow auto-bitsetting.

I've absolutely no interest in quantum of solace but I'm going to get it to test - there is too much confusion regarding it.

Every game I've tried so far works fine (except the blob which is well documented as not working, and Bratz, which crashes at the very begining - I would like some confirmation that others had problems with it too though.

I use quality discs and PIF scan my created discs to make sure they are of a high enough quality to keep.


Right, finished burning. Clean 1:1 PAL copy of the game, running on a PAL 3.2e console (patched with starfall) using wiigators 0.3beta, cIOS rev6 (the one wiigator included) and nothing else. Shows the first safety screen, then shows a screen saying to make sure everything is connected to the wii zapper properly and then it gives the "There has been an error, press EJECT... ..." screen. Tried with PAL50/PAL60 and all hooktypes.

No idea (and couldn't care less) about bastardised/decrypted copies.

This game clearly doesn't work with 0.3beta, and as such I'll edit the wiki to say so.

Just wanted to add to this and say I have got De Blob working, so it is possible to get it working on loader v0.3!! though no such luck with Quantum of Solace

It probably doesn't help, but I have a chipped Wii and have been playing QoS recently. Just for the hell of it I grabbed Wii Gator's loader 0.3 and installed it as a channel. I was able to load up and play QoS just fine through the loader channel. I assumed that loading through WiiGator's loader would ignore the fact that I have a chip, but I'm guessing that's why it works for me...?

How? 30 people on the wiki claim it as non-working.

With a chip you cannot help test compatilbity. I tried the same thing, and all tested games worked, even the ones other people are reporting problems with.

I will be honest... I don't have a clue.... i had backup loader 1 on my Wii... I followed djtaz's guide in his zip to update to v0.3 (btw, thanks for that djtaz), then I just put the game in and ran it with all the setting on default, and it worked!!

I have an non-modified PAL Wii, which (im not sure what region the game was) and I did patch the game with the backup loader version 1 patcher...

De Blob does work, there is just a glitch in it that if you take too long selecting levels it will freeze, but if you click into a level fast enough you can play it with no worries.... This is actually stated in the wiki.

De Blob Error Yes / No PAL & NTSC-U Game disc could not be read, usually upon loading levels or when creating a profile. Will work if you load profile and select levels quickly. bug only exists here, not during gameplay. Bug still occurs with read retry cIOS fix.

But if you don't have a profile already saved you are unable to load - unless you are able to type a name and select ok in the time it takes to crash. It RUNS, but it doesn't WORK.

 

[digitydogs]

If you dont have a profile then thats on you. Shoulda bought the original then you could use it to make a profile. For those pirates that still want to whine about it... try a google search for wii saves... otherwise wait for the next release of the loader

Sorry if this is too irrevelant, but...
HBC beta 10 is coming out soon!
It will be the final version though, unless something blocks it, but there wont be anymore new features after this.
I reckon they should add the ability to rearrange the apps list. Its prettty annoying to have to change the meta to make it get to the top! That has to be included for sure!

 

[Screemer]

marcan said they might implement new features in future releases, if they are done with other things with a higher priority. i think he was talking about bootmii and the tool chain related to it.

Hi!
I'm looking for some help. Some weeks ago i had installed wiigators backup launcher 0.1 and i played star wars force unleashed backup game and it worked fine.
Now i have updated to backup launcher 0.3 and now 0.1 version don't work.
Is it possible to have two working backup launcher channels ( 0.1 and 0.3 ) or do i have to use only one of them?
If someone know how to get them work then please help me.
Thank you!

^^beat me to it

This thread has the answer

Ouch beat by two people. What can i use this space for now....

What on earth are you wittering on about. Buy the game to test it in the copy loader? Why on earth would I do that. I have a modchipped wii if I want to play copied games. I (along with most others who contribute to the wiki) are doing it to further the copy loader.

Using downloaded saves isn't a solution, and neither is claiming it works (oh, but only if you already have a profile) to enhancing the loader.

I noticed Wiigator was posting about possiblities of playing GC backups as well... I don't think he was focusing on that as a project for him right now...but he did admit to looking into it and giving some intel on what he had already tried... The big question for me and I am sure with others is how close is he to tweaking this loader to full compatibility? I am very pleased w/ the current and latest release... and I am not using the old one along side the newer on (.1 and .3 on different cios's) because I like being able to use the dvdx mainly to play dvds for my kid when he going to bed. I am sure there is a possibility of installing dvdx twice on 2 seperate cios's...but I don't think a few games is going to hurt for awhile until there is another release.

Again,

Thanks Wiigator and everyone that was a help then and to come.

It is being tested by plenty of people. I've played it through twice and the menu error is the only one i've encountered. I wasn't saying buy the game so you can test it, my comment was about pirating games. if you have a modchip then obviously you can load it with that and make a profile to test with. I'm just tired of people bitching about a free lunch. My whole point was If you want to play an illegal copy of this game, which isnt fully supported yet, then use a save and stop complaining that it doesnt work. Because as far as im concerned for playing my actual backup it is working, albeit with a glitch. A well reported glitch at that.

i was able to make a profile in de blob fast enough. of course, i had to make the name be k and it crashed while saying that it was making the profile, but the next time i booted it up the profile was intact and i was able to be fast enough to play the first level..
